More than the better half of a renowned journalist, Jill Rhodes also has an impressive resume. However, Rhodes is famous for being the wife of Sean Hannity, a popular face on cable news, a radio and television host and an author.

Given how Sean Hannity has successfully managed his career and marriage for more than two decades, his wife has made headlines as there have been questions about details of their family life and career. Here’s everything you need to know about Jill Rhodes, an ambitious journalist who has decided to put family before her promising career.

Who is Jill Rhodes, Sean Hannity’s wife? your bio

Jill Rhodes is from Alabama and was born on …27. August 1962. Although no information is available to the public about her parents, early life and education, we do know that Rhodes is highly educated. She studied journalism at the University of Alabama and theology and ministry at the conservative Hotbed Liberty University. She wasn’t a public person and didn’t really want to be in the spotlight. However, her marriage to Sean Hannity, the popular talk show host and conservative political commentator, brought her less-than-desired fame.

children and family

Rhodes is happily married to fellow journalist Sean Hannity. Their love story began when Rhodes worked as a political columnist for the Huntsville Times and Hannity on WVNN radio in Huntsville. Their first contact was in 1991 when Hannity called Rhodes, but it wasn’t until the next year that they actually met in person. Their first meeting obviously went well as the lovebirds soon took their relationship to the next level.

Convinced that Sean was the guy she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, the couple courted for less than a year before officially tying the knot in 1993. Jill and Sean’s union has produced two children. In 1999 they welcomed a son Patrick and three years later their daughter Merri Kelley was born.

Although Rhodes always harbored great ambitions for her career and had the potential to make a name for herself as a popular TV face like her husband, she refrained from doing so due to family reasons. Rather, she was Hannity’s backbone, supporting him behind the scenes for most of his career as a journalist.

Despite being a popular media face and a popular name, the couple have decided to take their fame lightly by keeping a low profile for their family. Jill and Sean try as best they can to keep details of their family under the radar.

Jill Rhodes has been married to Sean Hannity for more than two decades, and like fine wine, their love seems to improve with the years. Luckily, Sean is a dedicated husband and father who appreciates Jill’s sacrifice. He has publicly stated in public that Rhodes is the brains behind his numerous achievements and that his family inexplicably completes him. In fact, in 2002, Hannity published his first book – Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism , which he dedicated to Rhodes and his children Sean Patrick and Merri Kelly.

But like all Jill and Sean success stories, the marriage wasn’t without its hitches and controversies. It has been rumored a couple of times that their marriage is set to nose-bounce following allegations of infidelity from Hannity’s side. Not only has Rhodes’ husband been romantically involved with other women, including his co-workers, throughout their marriage, speculation was compounded when Hannity admitted in 2013 that he was attracted to other women. Most notably in 2017, Hannity joined the long list of Fox news anchors who have been accused of sexual harassment.

Spurred on by the allegations, however, Sean publicly debunked the rumors, describing them as malicious lies spreading against him and his family. According to him, the rumors were a coordinated effort to silence those with conservative views in a fiercely divided and vengeful political climate. Sean reiterated that everything that had been written about him and his family in the media falsely warned that he would no longer condone defamatory lies about him to go unchallenged, but would fight them with the best means possible.

Other important facts

4. While the exact value of Jill Rhodes’ net worth is uncertain, Hannity is known to have a net worth of $80 million, a fortune he amassed primarily from his career as a journalist. Given that Rhodes was a strong pillar for her husband, the Hannity Rhodes family certainly has enough assets to lead a comfortable and good life.
